Geese taking a walk near Seagulls Beach Hotel, Wild Coast

These geese looked so happy and relaxed just taking an afternoon stroll, near Seagulls Beach Hotel, on the Wild Coast, not far from Kei Mouth.  We spent one night at Seagulls Beach Hotel in early 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and of course their divine Saturday night seafood, as well as meandering through the countryside - and all sorts of animals, not just geese - on the way there and back.

Dining on Seafood at Seagulls Beach Hotel, Wild Coast

The Seafood on Saturday nights at Seagulls Beach Hotel on the Wild Coast is just divine!  When we spent one night at Seagulls Beach Hotel in January 2009, we made sure it was a Saturday night so that we could enjoy dining on their famous seafood dishes - and did we eat a lot of seafood and enjoy it?  Of course!  We feasted on delicious and beautifully presented oysters, cockles, prawns, calamari, mussels and fish.  All the seafood eaten in the Seagulls Beach Hotel dining room is refreshingly fresh, and just simply delicious!

Rural countryside near Kei Mouth and Seagulls beach hotel in the Transkei

These sheep were just a few of the many farm animals we encountered on the way to Seagulls beach hotel in January 2009. The drive on this 20 km dirt road between the pontoon at Kei River in Kei Mouth, and the gorgeous little seaside holiday spot, Seagulls beach hotel, is all part of the holiday getaway and escape from the city - East London, in South Africa is not a terribly large city, but this little countryside road is still an escape! Some of the other animals that we met in this wonderful little country environment were: cows, bulls, goats, ducks, geese, chickens, donkeys - plenty of animals. Ah, the countryside!

Seagulls near the East London Aquarium

Seagulls swoop, soar and fly near the East London aquarium in the hope of being able to steal some fish being fed to the penguins. Naughty but clever seagulls! See a free online short story for children with photographs taken at the East London aquarium, entitled
